Our Story
In 2016 Dafni and Benjamin thought about how they could do their part in the refugee crisis at the time. Out of it emerged the idea to use board games for a different – playful – way to welcome new arrivals in Munich. And so GamersWelcome was born. Since then we follow a single mission: We want to bring people to the table through board games – no matter whether they are locals, refugees or internationals. In 2020 Benjamin moved to the USA to devote himself to his research, since then his friend Xaver has been organizing the game nights in Giesing and Daphne has been doing the Bellevue Gamenight. All #GamersWelcome
